Walked out of work and saw this, not the first time I have seen them around. There is also a RS with Z06 front fender badged and what I assume is the 505HP LS7 kicking around work...It sounds like an angry Dump truck. I would guesstimate that will be the ZL-1 version. Even the base car gets a 304hp 6 lifted from the caddy

I hope you're allowed to take and post pix of that car. hate to see you lose your job over something like this.

unless you don't work for the company who is working on the car.

What 300HP V6 is that? Sounds like a motor for a Fiero

The high-feature DI 3.5L V6 as found in the CTS. 305HP and 30MPG from a 3.5L and in the base Camaro for $24K-ish. More power than the Mustang GT's V8! (Not for 2010, but you get my drift). Unfortunately it's also RWD only (I think!). For the Fiero you want the 303HP LS4 V8 as found in the nose of the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP.

In the Newark region I've seen a handful of hardtop solstice' running around and Im positive those aren't for sale to the general public either.

I won't lose my job, the car is parked in a public parking lot. I saw the silver one at Tim Hortons this AM with a crowd of people around it.

Now going over to the tech center and taking pics would be a No No!

GM needs good publicity!

It's LOSE! Why do people do that on the internet? Loose is a bolt that needs tightening or a woman of questionable values, not something that happens to a job!

AAAHHHH!!!!

Wow those are some decent specs, I actually thought about this car for a second instead of my subconscious striking it off the list for me like most new cars...does it do corners and does that $24K include the Transformers markup?

Also I have to say I think the level of secrecy at Ford and GM is hilarious at times. I could understand keeping this car under wraps but I laughed my ass off for a long time at Ford going through lots of trouble to hide the 2009 Mustang. They should have just left it with a normal paint job, it could have passed for a 2008/2007/2006/2005 model...really. The only difference in appearance as far as I can tell is the angle of some of the front grille components.
